Christmas Tree At Fox Building NYC Set On Fire


UPDATED 1PM DEC 8:  The hosts of Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” reacted Wednesday to the Christmas tree outside their building being set on fire, blaming the leadership of the “left” and a “crime surge,” reports The Wrap. 

“This is emblematic of the cities out of control, defame and defund the police and this bail reform that has these men and women — these assailants, these suspects — out before they even can finish off the paperwork. This is what you get if you have these left-wing DAs and officials running these major cities. You get chaos,” fumed host Brian Kilmeade.

There is no information on the suspect immediately available and no indication the person was let “out” of a past incarceration. In a memo to staff Wednesday, Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott did confirm the suspect was charged with arson and “multiple other crimes” after the fire.

A man was arrested after setting fire to a Christmas tree outside Midtown’s News Corporation building early Wednesday morning, police and sources said.

The holiday display was set ablaze shortly after midnight and the flames quickly spread up the tree in Fox Square outside the 6th Avenue building that houses Fox News, The Wall Street Journal and the New York Post.

Photos from the scene show the fire charred most of the Christmas tree that was decked out in red, white and blue ornaments and topped with a red star.

The flames also damaged three other nearby trees decorated with Christmas lights.

Police closed off the surrounding streets as FDNY firefighters extinguished the blaze.
